Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1880–1968) was a highly accomplished Scottish naval architect whose career spanned the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His practice encompassed the design of racing yachts, cruising vessels, and steam yachts during a period of significant maritime evolution. Steam propulsion represented an established technology for larger yachts during portions of Mylne's career, though sailing and motor designs also featured prominently in his portfolio. Design 1193 occupies a place within this broader body of work, though its specific chronological position and technical context require further investigation.
